Phishing Education Test Blocked For Phishing

An anonymous reader writes "It appears a website called ismycreditcardstolen.com, designed to 'educate users about the dangers of phishing,' has itself been flagged by Firefox as a reported web forgery. The site, which asks visitors to enter their credit card details to 'see if they've been stolen,' takes the hapless visitor to a page warning them about the perils of phishing, giving them advice on how to avoid similar scams and also provides a link to the Anti-Phishing Working Group's website. Or at least it did, until various browsers started blocking it. As the Sunbelt blog post notes, the project was likely doomed to failure, both because of the domain name itself and also because it uses anonymous Whois data, which isn't exactly going to make security people look at it in a positive light. Does anyone out there think this was a good idea? Or will malicious individuals start playing copycat on a public now trained to think sites like this are just 'harmless education?'"

So, it worked!

It was designed to look like a phising site, and it did!

After they click submit, the site should return a page that simply says "Yes".

Sadly the site is down, meanwhile..

Post your full name, address, credit card number and cvv as a reply to this post and we will get back to you if your card has been exposed to the threats on internet.

Yeah well, it's better than being anything else. ;)

I love when jealous people post snide remarks on American web sites, it just makes it all so clear how inferior they feel. :)

    Funny, that's the same as one of my aliases. For some reason my card seems to be maxed out now.
